Not sure if this applies to all engines but the shims in my Pan have to be installed so the side with the numbers on is a particular way up. (I can't remember which way off the top of my head!) If they are the wrong way the numbers wear off - apparently!Originally Posted by WR6133
Anyone in the Tidworth/Salisbury/Andover area got a micrometer accurate to 0.01mm I could borrow (or use on your driveway)? Just pulled 16 shims out of a spare engine and every single one of them is unmarked!
That may well be the case some of them had tiny scuffed remainders of markings.
When the shims are new the markings will be accurate; once used and subject to wear you should always measure them, irrespective of being able to read the original markings.
